a financial voyeur’s dream come true: all the intimate details of how, where, and why I spend money

$$: Health & Clothing

Computer Lesson — $0.00
Another fabulously productive One-to-One computer lesson on my iMac at the Apple store.   The $79 (usually $99 but as a homeschooler I get their educator’s discount) I spent on that year of One-to-One instruction is unquestionably one of the best values and wisest purchases I’ve ever made.
Panda Express — $0.00
For a [...]

$$: NPR, Gas, Groceries, Health Care, & ….. Paint

$$: Supplements, Frozen Mac & Cheese, & Health Care

Colonic — $70.00
My poor IBS-racked gut really needed a tune-up after all of that anesthesia and constipation-inducing Vicodin.
[As a bit of an aside:  The Husband and I had an interesting conversation the other night about the failing economy and belt-tightening.  My point was that luxury items would be one of the first things to be [...]

Day 213: Woot, Lavage, Gas, Book, Starbucks, and Bad News

Woot — $19.99
My first-ever Woot purchase.  I usually start out my on-line day by checking out the daily Woot deal but I’ve never seriously been tempted to buy anything until today.  This morning’s deal was a Tuesday 2-fer pack of Black & Decker CP120B Backup Batteries.  The purchase price was $14.99 with $5 shipping.
These battery packs [...]

Lavage session — $70.00
It’s expensive.  It’s painful.  But the effect it’s having on my IBS is both undeniable and fabulous.  This is the longest stretch of symptom relief I’ve had in about a decade.
